D. Feed/Crimp Cable through Corner Posts
As composite sleeves can be somewhat fragile, it is recommended to stop and start at corners.
Do not allow a cable to exit a post on an angle; it can damage the sleeve.
E. Install Swageless Terminal
1.
Place lag thread into the pre-drilled hole and drive lag thread into wood post using our DRIVER PL-LAG tool (or 3/8"
open-end wrench) on wrench flats milled into body of fitting. Stop turning when shoulder on fitting between lag thread
and body makes contact with wood post.
2.
Pull the cable tightly along the side of the fitting and mark the cable at the end of the fitting.
Cut the cable 1-3/16" beyond that mark.
3.
At opposite end post with tensioning terminal, detach the body from the Hanger Bolt to allow cable
slack so you can perform the next step.
4. Back at post with swageless terminal, push the cable into the hole in the fitting as far as it will go
(approximately 1-1/16"). Twist the cable in a clockwise direction as you push it into the fitting.
Push
Rotating clockwise
Note: If you have trouble inserting the cable into the fitting, it may be because the locking wedges have become stuck. This is not a
defect! Here's what you can do to "free the wedges" — For Pull-Lock
or 1/4" diameter bolt, insert the RFXPL-KEY or bolt into the hole and press until the wedges move freely. Perform the same operation
for a 3/16" Pull-Lock
recommended can actually get stuck inside the fitting – NOT what you want!
5.
Return to the post with tensioning terminal and hand turn the body back onto the Hanger Bolt as far as possible.
